PSA for folks looking to break into Tech: Now is a great time to make moves into big tech in all roles. I am a hiring manager with visibility into many open roles, and we are struggling to get the right candidates to accept. Candidates all seem to have many competing offers right now - very candidate friendly environment.

If you are interested in breaking into tech, here's some comp bench marks for biz roles:
<3 YOE:150k
3-5 YOE: 200-250k
4-8 YOE: 250-300k

Many roles work 40-50 hrs / week

Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Been trying for almost four months, and I know other folks with long experience trying to exist consulting to tech. HR roles and will be happy with the above pay ranges. But feel like tech recruit from consulting that much, at least for these roles. Any insights on that?

There's roles in every market

So is that still accurate when you have generic analyst experience for 4 years and nothing specific into a specific area?

4 years of experience will get you nowhere with google. Most people have 6-10 years of experience

You know the YOE you listed are creating false expectations

its more like
>5 YOE = enter the interview process
5-8 YOE = 150-250
8+ YOE = 250+

After 8 YOE = its all about your ability to deliver / experience delivering technical work.

This is the baseline for non technical roles in SF l NY areas.

Most other areas are 15% less than this.

Could you tell us which firm you’re from? I’m sure you’ll yield more targeted results if folks knew - thanks!

Thanks for sharing and conveying this!

Are there technical program manager roles available? What other technical roles do you have, if any? Thanks!

Just a general PSA

Are these ranges for big tech only, or do they apply for smaller companies as well?

I'm seeing high comp from unicorns as well (think door dash, uber) and late stage start ups.

Have had non technical folks with < 4 YOE decline offer over 200k offer in favor of an established start up.

I would love to hear more, I will let you DM at your convenience as I’m sure your inbox has probably blown up at this point.

OP won’t DM you, you DM them lol

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.
